This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features one of our most requested duos: Taylor Crabb and Taylor Sander. Fresh off a rejuvenating off-season, Crabb and Sander are looking to follow up on a phenomenal first year as partners, one in which they made five finals and won two events, including the Phoenix Gold Series Championships. We chatted about all manner of topics, including:
Why Taylor Sander’s rookie season was historically good, despite what many naysayers might say (and for some reason do)
Why they decided to skip the Doha Elite 16, and will be playing in AVP Miami instead of the La Paz Challenge
What Sander has learned about his own game, and what improvements he’s making heading into 2023
The mental battle between choosing to play in AVP events vs. Olympic qualifying events

And, as always, a whole lot more.
